My friend got first GC without interview. Anyone else?

[Minori 111]

Hello,

I would like to know if this happens to everyone who applied for AOS and the initial interview was cancelled due to the Covid-19 because friend of mine who lives in WI and applied for AoS from K1 just got her first green card without interview yesterday. 

 

Her scheduled interview was cancelled by USCIS and she was told that USCIS would notice them a date of rescheduled interview when the local office opens. I was told the same too.

K1 AOS interview is used to be waived so that practise is coming back due to COVID backlogs.

A few (not all) members reported getting the i485 approved without attending an interview starting back in early May or so.

As others have stated this used to be common practice (I received my Greencard in 2016 and my only interview ever was for a J1 at the consulate long before that).

The mandatory interview came with the current administration and there are several reports that folks have been approved without interview since covid.

Several discussions about this topic. Not everyone is getting waived but there are several cases here on VJ that have been lucky. For sure 2 of us couples are from Wisconsin.

Can we know the timeline please so we can track where USCIS is at for cancellation or issue of GC without interview
